Abhishek Bachchan And Saiyami Kher’s Ghoomer To Re-Release In Theatres Following Women’s World Cup Win

2 November 2025 is truly a date that will mark a golden chapter in the history of Indian women’s cricket. On November 2, the Women in Blue made history by lifting the first-ever ICC Women’s World Cup title

on home soil. This win made every Indian proud, as the nation celebrated the team’s victory as its own. Now, as the celebrations continue, adding to the happy news, the critically acclaimed sports drama directed by R. Balki, Ghoomer, is returning to the big screen.

Starring Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher, Ghoomer is set for a special theatrical re-release this Friday, November 7, 2025, in celebration of the nation’s enduring love for the game.

Originally released on August 18, 2023, Ghoomer tells the powerful and emotional story of a cricketer who defies all odds and disabilities, guided by a coach who refuses to let her give up. Directed by R. Balki and produced by Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Abhishek A. Bachchan, Gauri Shinde, Wg Cdr Ramesh Pulapaka (Retd), and Anil Naidu, the film beautifully captures resilience, mentorship, and the indomitable spirit that defines Indian cricket.

Speaking about the re-release, director R. Balki said, “I’m thrilled that Ghoomer is releasing again to celebrate the incredible achievement of our women cricketers. Ghoomer was always a tribute to women’s cricket and the resilience of women cricketers. And they did it at the same stadium where Ghoomer was shot. Two matches — one fiction, one fact — on the same pitch. I can’t wait to see audience reactions again.”
